MSI afterburner

[Blackspur]

I recently purchased an MSI n560gtx Ti twin frozr, i have 2 problems with it as of yet.

1. MSI Afterburner will not allow me to change the voltage (yes I checked the box to unlock voltage control) it also displays the card as a Geforce GTX 560 Ti not the MSI version.

2. MSI Live update 4 shows my GPU as an ATI Radeon 4200, which it is not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was ATI Radeon 4200 your previous card by any chance? If yes, you might still have some ATI drivers hanging around.
I thought the unlock voltage control option should well... unlock voltage controls. Strange that it didn't. Did you download the latest version of the video card driver and the latest Afterburner or did you use the disc that came with the box? (Without relying on MSI Live Update... go to the MSI website and hunt down the driver and program manually)

My previous was not the ATI 4200 and i do have the latest version of MSI Afterburner. I am unsure which is the latest driver as on the MSI website it is version 266.44 whereas on the nvidia website it is 266.66.

Did you previously have an ATI card? If so, did you completely remove its drivers, using DriverSweeper, before installing the GTX 560?

are you using the 2.0 version of afterburner or the 2.1 beta 7 version. iirc the beta version has better support for the new 500 series nvidia cards.

Ok, this is what you are going to do.

Step 1: Download and install Driver Sweeper (http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/)
Step 2: Download and install CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download)
Step 3: Download most current Nvidia Display Drivers from the Nvidia website
Step 4: Uninstall Nvidia Control Panel, Display Driver and PhysX drivers
Step 5: Reboot into safe mode and run Driver Sweeper then CCleaner (both files and registry cleaning), reboot
Step 6: Install new Nvidia Display Drivers

Everything should be normal after your final reboot. Also, your version of Afterburner probably isn't the correct one, you need to get 2.1 Beta 7 (http://downloads.guru3d.com/Afterbur...load-2604.html). I also recommend getting MSI Kombustor to stress test after overclocking, which is what I'm assuming you're wanting to do. (http://www.geeks3d.com/20100810/gpu-...1-3-available/).

If I'm not mistaken, you can't volt-mod non-reference card designs unless otherwise stated for a particular product. I at least know you couldn't do it with ATI cards, I assume it works the same way with Nvidia since it's largely a PCB thing.
